There are many types of damage that can be dealt in Beasts of Bermuda.

== Physical Damage ==

Physical damage is the most basic type of damage. Most [[Primary Attack|primary]] and [[Secondary Attack|secondary]] attacks deal physical damage, though there are some [[Alarm Calls|exceptions]]. It is simple, and just subtracts some [[Health|HP]] when it is applied. When HP hits zero, the creature [[Death|dies]]. Physical damage dealt is not always consistent. Beasts of Bermuda has a [[Locational Damage|locational damage system]] that, under certain circumstances, alters how much physical damage is dealt. Most notably, a [[Size|larger]] creature will deal half damage if it strikes the smaller creature in the tail.

Some other sources of physical damage are:
* [[Fall Damage|Falls]] inflict physical damage when falling from a height that surpasses the threshold the creature can endure without damage.
* [[Lightning]] strikes inflict significant physical damage, often killing in one shot.

== Injury Damage ==

Injury damage is a bit more difficult to understand at first than physical damage. Injury damage inflicts [[Injury|injury]] onto a target. Most animals will inflict injury damage simultaneously with physical damage, but only if the hit lands on the leg of the other creature. Injury damage is computed in proportion to the square of the amount of physical damage dealt, and in inverse proportion to the [[Size|size]] of the hit creature. This ensures that smaller animals are mostly inept at inflicting much injury onto larger ones, especially if they are constantly nibbling at the feet of their foe.

Some animals are immune to injury damage, possessing the [[Sturdy|sturdy]] trait. The [[Velociraptor]] and [[Apatosaurus]] currently are sturdy.

Some animals are able to bypass locational damage constraints on inflicting injury damage, dealing damage regardless by possession of the [[Bruisers|bruiser]] trait. The [[Pachycephalosaurus]] is currently the only bruiser.

Injury damage is capped at 100%. It does not kill a creature on its own doing, but it slows them down, so it can be quite useful.

Other notable sources of injury damage beyond player-inflicted hits on legs are:
*[[Tripping]] inflicts injury damage, granting 25% injury with each trip.
*[[Fall Damage|Falls]] inflict injury, inflicting injury damage in equal fraction to the amount of [[Health|HP]] lost from the fall.

== Comfort Damage ==

There is currently only one source of comfort damage in Beasts of Bermuda. Consuming [[Fish|fish]] without the [[Piscivorous Creatures|piscovorous]] trait will gradually accumulate into negative [[Comfort Bias|comfort bias]] due to comfort damage.

== Knockback Damage ==

Knockback, in general, is applied when a [[Size|larger]], [[Terrestrial Creatures|terrestrial]] creature collides with a smaller one. Most larger animals have knockback regions applied to their feet such that they are able to kick smaller animals out of their way or off their ankles. The severity of knockback is related to the size ratio between the striking creature and the one struck. A significant size ratio such as betweeen an [[Apatosaurus]] and a [[Velociraptor]] can send it flying very far, often threatening significant damage related to the impending fall. Another element of computing severity of knockback is the relative angle of the struck creature in relation to the forward vector of the striking creature. A dot product is used to compute knockback severity, and thus glancing hits will merely push an animal out of the way, whereas a full-out kick from head-on will do significantly more knockback. An exception to this is the [[Apatosaurus]], who applies full-strength knockback regardless of angle.

Knockback is the primary means of defense the [[Apatosaurus]] uses to get players off its legs.

Some creatures apply knockback regardless of size ratio. An example of this is the [[Pachycephalosaurus]], which can apply significantly stronger knockback than its size suggests otherwise.

Knockback itself applies no other forms of damage, but it often can result in [[Fall Damage|falls]], indirectly applying physical and injury damage to the victim.

== Thirst Damage ==

Thirst damage subtracts [[Thirst|thirst]]. The only source of thirst damage currently in-game is from drinking [[Ocean|saltwater]]. [[Weather|Droughts]], though not currently in-game, may also apply thirst damage while the player is [[Dungeons|unsheltered]].

== Stamina Damage ==

There is currently only two sources of stamina damage in-game. The first is from [[Fall Damage|falls]]. Falls subtract stamina in equal fraction to how much [[Health|HP]] was lost from the fall.

The second source is from [[Struggling|struggling]], of which the [[Ichthyovenator]] is currently the only creature capable of doing so. Struggling inflicts 50 [[Stamina|stamina]] damage.
